dvb broken with 6.3.7

My dvb-t adapter no longer works after upgrading linux kernel to 6.3.7. 6.3.6 works well.

On startup, Mythbackend hangs and these errors appear in the dmesg logs :

The culprit is a set of dvb-related fixes committed in 6.3.7. Some have reported the issue and a fix has been committed:

Re: dvb broken with 6.3.7

Same problem here running tvheadend using dvb-s even with newest kernel 6.3.8. With kernel 6.3.6 all is fine.
